The new charge brought by the grand jury stems from prosecutors' allegations that Hubbard gave a pay raise — without the required school-board approval — to another administrator, Nora Roque, when the two worked together in the Beverly Hills Unified School District in May 2005, according to the indictment.

Roque later joined Newport-Mesa Unified, where she is director of classified personnel. She earns $142,175 a year, including bonuses, according to public records.

She has not been charged in the case.

Hubbard also is accused of giving another former Beverly Hills administrator about $20,000 -- and increasing her monthly car allowance to about $500 -- without board approval.

If convicted on all charges, Hubbard faces up to six years in prison.

In January, the Newport-Mesa board approved a voluntary paid leave for Hubbard to prepare his defense. He returned to work in July.
